Hey, that's Google's new market too!
They foresee a dystopian future with driverless cars, intelligent ads, perfect synergy and communication between our brains through implants. It's dystopic not because of what it promises, but how much control these providers will get over public services. Pure Philip K. Dick.
Welcome Google, Apple and Amazon, the companies of the future, the companies that help us on our most mundane and daily tasks. From waking up, drinking coffee, conmuting, working and going to bed. Of course, this keeps their stock value high, not doing it, but reaching for it. Cannot really blame them.

- ceejayoz 12y agoNot yet. A few years/decades after self-driving cars become common, though, I wouldn't be shocked to see manually driven cars banned or strictly limited for safety reasons. What then?
- freehunter 12y agoThen there will likely be several companies competing in the self-driving car market? It's not like when horse and buggy went out of fashion, we all had to rush out and buy a Ford.
- ceejayoz 12y agoApple, Google, Microsoft, etc. compete in the smartphone world but all are privacy disasters in one way or another. I don't expect things like self-driving cars to buck that trend.
